Remains Of Amber Dubois Found

ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- BREAKING NEWS: The skeletal remains of Amber Dubois were discovered during a search in the Pala area Saturday and identified by dental records, it was announced in a Sunday press conference about the case.

Just a day after the search of a pond at Escondido's Kit Carson Park proved to be unfruitful in the search for missing teenager Amber Dubois, authorities Sunday scheduled an afternoon news conference about the case.Police refused to tip their hand as to any development sparking the news conference, which had originally been called by the Sheriff's Department for its headquarters, but then moved to the Escondido Police Department station.

The Sheriff's Department has not had a major role in the Dubois case, as the girl disappeared in Escondido and the Escondido Police Department has been the lead law enforcement agency investigating her disappearance.
However, Amber returned to public attention since the arrest, by the Sheriff's Department, of John Albert Gardner III in connection with the disappearance and death of 17-year-old Chelsea King in nearby Rancho Bernardo.
Gardner is a registered sex offender who lived recently in Escondido. Investigators were looking into any involvement he might have had with Amber, or in other unsolved crimes.
Amber was 14 when she disappeared more than a year ago while walking to Escondido High School. She has not been seen since.
The search at Kit Carson Park stemmed from a tip received Thursday that last May, three girls found a black plastic bag and human hair at the edge of a pond, said Escondido police Lt. Craig Carter.
Detectives found a bag Thursday night, but it contained only mud and debris, Carter said. It was given to the FBI to analyze.

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
